We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the kind of intractable problem that can probably only be resolved through negotiations, and those negotiations may have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37503]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the kind of intractable problem that can probably only be resolved through negotiations, and those negotiations may have to include the Boeing-Airbus dispute - which, given its complexity, should be settled through negotiations anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The higher faiths call their followers to strenuous moral effort. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The higher faiths call their followers to strenuous moral effort. Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.

It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43735]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sharks have been swimming the oceans unchallenged for thousands of years; chances are, the species that roams corporate waters will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sharks have been swimming the oceans unchallenged for thousands of years; chances are, the species that roams corporate waters will prove just as hardy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her actions over the years have served to diminish the power of the legislature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her actions over the years have served to diminish the power of the legislature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52127]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words are the coins making up the currency of sentences, and there are always too many small coins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43469]]></link><description><![CDATA[A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18110</guid></item></channel></rss>
